With annual sales of approximately $50 million and 65 employees, Drexel
Metals is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and has facilities in
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Florida from which it serves over
700 customers. Drexel designs and fabricates metal roofing systems for
both residential and non-residential applications. The market for metal
roofing systems is growing due to the quality aesthetics, durability,
energy efficiency and lower life cycle costs offered by the products.
Drexel both fabricates its products in its facilities and offers
distributors and installers a field fabrication program backed by the
Company’s premium brand, marketing support, training, testing and
warranties.

The business will operate as a unit within Carlisle Construction
Materials (CCM), a manufacturer of a complete range of roofing and
waterproofing products for commercial and industrial buildings,
including single-ply roofing, rigid foam insulations, below grade
waterproofing and air/vapor barrier systems.

D. Christian “Chris” Koch, Carlisle’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, said: “Drexel Metals provides Carlisle Construction Materials a
complementary addition to its range of roofing products and systems as
well as access to new end markets and sales channels. Drexel provides an
excellent foundation for additional growth investment in a growing
roofing products sector. This acquisition is consistent with CCM’s
strategy of expanding into premium products for the building envelope in
attractive growth sectors. We are very pleased to welcome the Drexel
Metals team to Carlisle.”
